Hello, '''Slum 5050'''. I'm not absolutely sure, but, as far, as I known, according the rules:
''Rule2.1.5''


Please use more descriptive file names for your uploads. Something as plain as "Beretta92fs.jpg" is usually reserved for gun images. Try something like "TPB_B92FS_01.jpg" or something. Please also remember to tag your uploaded screenshots with <nowiki> [[Category: Screenshot]] or {{SS}}</nowiki>. Thanks. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 20:53, 27 March 2014 (EDT)
Both pages contain a single firearm, but both a clearly IDed. As well, the gun wielding characters and actors are also IDed. This gun is seen firing onscreen. Not sure about ''[[Big Bounce, The (1969)‎]]'' (as it was created by another user, administrator [[Ben41]]), but the shotgun in the ''[[Highwaymen‎]]'' are seen many times throughout the movie and fired many times. So, it's real gun, so, I guess, that this pages are eligible. [[User:Pyramid Silent|Pyramid Silent]] ([[User talk:Pyramid Silent|talk]]) 16:11, 9 September 2020 (EDT)
:It's also a good idea to add the episode number if you have it. I changed the name of "Beretta92fs.jpg" to "TPB_0205_B92FS_01.jpg". --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 21:08, 27 March 2014 (EDT)

:::Hello, again. I hadn't watch the ''[[Insidious]]''  movie, so, I'm not sure about ''[[Insidious]]'' page, but once again:  while the only a single firearm appeared in this movie, it can be clearly IDed, it's not a toy, but a real gun, the actor-characters also IDed.
The rule tells:
1) the firearm is identifiable, well seen and important to the story. A film where 'some character' wields an 'unknown revolver' means nothing.
3) it must drive the plot forward and not be an 'incidental' prop (like something hanging on the wall in the background).
4) the single firearm rule only applies if the firearm is real. If it is an obvious toy or airsoft gun, then it does not qualify. Having a lone character wave around an 'orange plug' airsoft toy does not merit a page. If the film is filled with various replica or high quality airsoft weapons than can fool the casual viewer, then it qualifies, if only to shine light upon the fact that the guns are fakes.
 
So, I guess, that this page is eligible. Also, I had removed spoilers, add actor credit and director category. But, anywhere, I hadn't watch this movie, so I hadn't remove the "Noeffort" template, leave it's to Admin's decision.

Discussion

Quality of screenshots

Your screenshots for Trailer Park Boys appear to be of inferior quality. Can you please find better sources for these? It appeared that a previous user was able to and the ones you've uploaded also appear to be cropped weirdly. --Ben41 (talk) 01:58, 30 March 2014 (EDT)

Also, pepper spray doesn't qualify as an entry. --Ben41 (talk) 01:59, 30 March 2014 (EDT)

TPB poster

The poster you posted is for a specific film, which, as far as I know, is not covered on the page. If you want to cover that film, then you can create a new page just for the film. --Funkychinaman (talk) 22:39, 1 April 2014 (EDT)

Hello, Slum 5050. I'm not absolutely sure, but, as far, as I known, according the rules: Rule2.1.5

Both pages contain a single firearm, but both a clearly IDed. As well, the gun wielding characters and actors are also IDed. This gun is seen firing onscreen. Not sure about Big Bounce, The (1969)‎ (as it was created by another user, administrator Ben41), but the shotgun in the Highwaymen‎ are seen many times throughout the movie and fired many times.
